I stayed here for 5 or 6 nights in Jun-2015 (tripadvisor did not allow to choose older date, so I chose something else below). Excellent location, well-priced, clean. The place may not look like much from outside (more like a Hostel, as its combined with an MBA school) but the rooms are well maintained. At walking distance to the nearby...

Located across the street from the waterfront, where you can catch red double decker bus tour, shop, and find some of the best restaurants. Loice, Nandi, and Shahied are some of its best hotel staff. Hotel restaurant offers affordable buffet breakfast and dinner--great food and beverage selection. Rooms are modern, spacious, well appointed with sufficient outlets for a work station....

Recently enjoyed a week's visit. Clean spacious room, very friendly and helpful staff. V close to hop on/ hop off buses, Waterfront (short walk) and Aquarium. Delicious breakfast with a great choice that sets you up for the day.

A good hotel with very pleasant and helpful staff. The room was large and had a view of table mountain, it also looked over a lovely courtyard garden. The fact that the hotel also housed the university business school was not a problem. The place was spotlessly clean,and interesting being an old prison; it was a very good location for...

The room was lovely, clean and spacious. The hotel was brilliantly located to the V&A Waterfront, just a short walk. The hotel staff were wonderful and the breakfast buffet delicious.

The hotel pictures and website dont do it much...

Arriving in Cape Town on a cold Friday evening, the last thing you'd want to do is to be held up by hotel checking-in procedures and I was once again impressed by Protea hotel, so efficient and zero hassles! I was also very happy with the tidiness of the entire hotel plus the fact that its location is super convenient...

We stayed in this hotel for two nights and enjoyed it. The location is superb, the rooms were clean and the staff were friendly. We did not make use of the restaurant.
If your room is in the "cell block" portion, it does seem very much like you are walking through an institution because that part of its heritage will...

4 nights here in the month of June. Very clean rooms with Tea and Coffee facilities. Good Spa treatment. Huge Breakfast selection. Switch off the powerful Air Con on a night to avoid a runny nose in the morning. Less than a 5 minute walk to the V&A waterfront. Very safe location.
